My dad tried these No-Bake Double Chocolate Oat Bars and he was surprised how tasty they are! He said is like eating a candy bar! Rich, decadent and delicious!

What you’ll need

The list:

• Oat flour – I usually buy it, but you can make your own by blending quick oats into fine powder. Blend extra oat flour and save it in an airtight container for other baking or cooking recipes.
• Cacao powder – I used unsweetened cacao powder because you’ll be adding extra sugar later on. Also, cacao powder makes a more decadent chocolatey dessert.
• Salt – Adding salt to chocolate recipes is vital! It enhances the flavor.
• Almond butter – Usually, nut butters are mixed with other saturated and unnecessary oils. Make sure to sure natural almond butter, where the only ingredient is almonds.
• Milk – In my case, I used unsweetened almond milk. Use any of choice!
• Maple syrup – Feel free to use any liquid sweetener of choice! Like, date syrup or agave syrup!
• Vanilla extract
• Chocolate chips
• Coconut oil – I used unrefined coconut oil. But feel free to use any kind of oil.
• 70% dark chocolate

The Instructions

• Assemble: Fold dough with chocolate chips and transfer and spread the dough out to paper-lined sheet. Press down into the loaf pan using your hands until evenly packed and distributed making sure to get it all the way into the corners of the pan.
• Chocolate: Melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between intervals until completely glossy and smooth. Pour melted chocolate on top of the dough and smooth until even.
• Assemble: If the dough is too soft to form the cookie, freeze for 5 minutes. Scoop the dough with an ice-cream scoop onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet leaving 1 inch of space around each. Add chocolate chips and sliced strawberries on top and with your fingers, gently flatten each cookie to be about 3/4-inch thick.
• Refrigerate: Melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between intervals until completely glossy and smooth. Pour melted chocolate on top of the dough and smooth until even.
